Announcing the
IEEE Virtual Conference on Applications of Commercial Sensors (IEEE VCACS 2016)
In 2015, the IEEE Sensors Council launched a new virtual conference series that focuses on practical applications of sensors. Successful authors submit presentations and papers that teach others how to build useful electronic devices employing commercially available microprocessor platforms and sensors. Successful authors include complete system details (circuit diagrams, PCB layouts, computer code, SolidWorks files, bill of materials, etc.) so that others can readily implement their working prototypes.
Authors submit a 15-minute presentation video (mp4 file using Camtasia or similar), a paper manuscript (using the standard IEEE publications template), and a compressed ancillary file (zip or tar with all their supporting materials). Accepted presentations (and their compressed ancillary files) are immediately posted to the conference website. For the accepted presentations, the accompanying paper manuscripts then undergo a traditional IEEE peer review cycle. Accepted papers (and their associated ancillary files) are included in the Conference Proceedings and are published worldwide in IEEE Xplore. Having an accepted presentation does not guarantee acceptance of the accompanying paper manuscripts. Revisions to the paper manuscript may be required.
To see what is expected, please visit the IEEE VCACS 2015 website: http://research.ece.ncsu.edu/ieee-sensors/vcacs-2015
Special Features
